Hi,
I'm currently installing a hardware Firewall with OpnSense (20.1.2) and 10GBit NICs and I'm trying to set die MTU Size to 9000 on each VLAN interface.
But I get the following error:
The following input errors were detected:
MTU of a vlan should not be bigger than parent interface.
I have to assign die Parent Device and let it unconfigured except MTU Size.
Next Thing: If I check die MTU Size via CLI, all Interfaces still have the default MTU1500. First if I change the MTU Size via CLI to 9000, I will get my full 10gbit speed.
It looks like something went wrong. The Networkcard is an IntelX710-DA4. Any Idea what goes wrong?
I also get an erro message on cli if something changed with the NIC Config like:
ixl0: aq_add_macvlan err -53, aq_error 14
or
WARNING: queue 0 appears to be hung!
WARNING: queue 2 appears to be hung!
But I dont see any negative effects.
Could maybe a driver problem. But I'm unable to install the latest:
Intel's instructions:
7. If you want the driver to load automatically when the system is booted:
cd ixgbe-x.x.x/src
make
make install
My output:
root@gw01:~/tmp/src # make
make: "/usr/share/mk/bsd.kmod.mk" line 12: Unable to locate the kernel source tree. Set SYSDIR to override.
root@gw01:~/tmp/src # make install
make: "/usr/share/mk/bsd.kmod.mk" line 12: Unable to locate the kernel source tree. Set SYSDIR to override.
root@gw01:~/tmp/src #
little googling says, that i have to check out the source tree via svn, but i'm not able to install svn too XD
Okay my VLAN Parent device seems to be persistent with MTU9000, but not my VLAN childs :/
mhh is it possible to set a @reboot cronjob? Then I would write a script, that change the MTU Sizes after a reboot.
I still dont have a solution for that problem :-/
It's not a cronjob and I assume, it should be triggered on every kind of (re)boot.
There is a syshook for start

Thank you, thats a workaround that works and I can live with.
